Can't hold us - Macklemore

Return of the Mack - get up 
What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn’t 
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed 
Instead of getting on the internet and checking a new hit 
We get up, fresh out, pimp strut walking 
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious 
Somewhere between like, Rocky and Cosby, Sweater Gang 
Nope, Nope. y’all can’t copy that 
Bad, moonwalkin', This here, is our party 
My posse's been on broadway, and we did it our way 
Grown music 
I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it 
And yet I’m on 
Let that stage light go and shine on down 
Got the Bob Barker suit game and Plinko in my style 
Money 
Stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds 
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town 
Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustling 
Chasing dreams since I was 14 
With the 4 track, bussing 
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crush shit 
Labels out here, nah they can’t tell me nothing 
We give it to the people, spread it across the country 
Labels out here, nah they can’t tell me nothing 
We give it to the people, spread it across the country 

And then we go back, this is the moment 
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over 
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us 
Like the ceiling can’t hold us 
Like the ceiling can’t hold us 

Now, can I kick it? Thank you 
Yeah I’m so damn grateful 

 


I grew up really wanting gold fronts 
But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you 
Y’all can’t stop me, I go hard like I've got an 808 in my heart beat 
And I’m eating at the beat 
Like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week 
(Why? Time to go off. Gone)? Deuces, goodbye 
I've got a world to see; 
And my girl, She wanna see Rome 
Caesar'll make you a believer 
Nah, I never ever did it for a throne 
That validation comes 
So I'm giving it back to the people now 
Sing that song and it goes like... 
Raise those hands, this is our party 
We came here to live life like nobody was watching 
I got my city right behind me; 
If I fall they got me 
Learn from that failure, gain humility 
Then we keep marching, I said 

And then we go back, this is the moment 
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over 
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us 
Like the ceiling can’t hold us 
Like the ceiling can’t hold us 

And all my people say' 
"Na na NAna na naNA na" 

And then we go back, this is the moment 
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over 
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us 
Like the ceiling can’t hold us 
Like the ceiling can’t hold us
